Cheung Straightens Out Lee
Level 23
: 75,000/150,000, 25,000 ante
Sparrow Cheung had used some aggressive pre-flop play to climb back up to 6.8 million before the following hand took place. It was Cheung who was on the button in this hand, making it 325,000 to go and Lee made the call to bring in the 
flop and the action went check, check.
The 
turn saw Lee lead for 400,000 and Cheung made the call to bring both players to the 
river. Lee fired again, this time for a slightly larger 700,000 and Cheung mulled it over before eventually throwing out the call.
Lee showed down 
for two pairs – queens and nines – but this was not enough to beat Cheung’s rivered straight with 
and the Hong Kong player is bringing himself right back into this heads-up match.
